Classy Little Party Box: "You Are My Sunshine"

We cannot get enough of this “You Are My Sunshine” 1^st birthday theme. We were excited when we were approach to help style a chic, glitzy, and classy “You Are My Sunshine” birthday party. Our first thought was how do we make this theme chic and classy… but we were determined to take on the challenge!

Party Details

One thing we knew we needed for this theme was gold glitter and LOTS of it! How can you get sick of gold glitter? I mean come on its GLITTER! So we wanted to make a big 3D sun that would be the main focus on the backdrop and the little smiling suns on the tassel banner gave that little extra sun exposure we were looking for.

A request we got was to add a cupcake station for the little girls. We pulled out a sweet little bar cart that we painted gold. We set up the cupcakes on top for the girls to pick their own cupcakes and decorate it with yummy toppings.

Now if there is one aspect of a party that we take serious, its personalizing what we put on a dessert table to reflect the birthday girl or boy. When we heard how sweet little Lea loves veggies we made it our mission to have veggies on the table but of course make it look chic. Our idea was to make veggie poppers inspired by candy poppers. We stuffed carrots and celery sticks inside a cardboard roll and covered it with tissue paper to make it look like candy. To say the least it was a hit!

This was truly a theme we ran far with and enjoyed every aspect of creating such a memorable party.
